7. How the system works
Local Livestock Worker/ Field Officer registered the farmer and cattle use their mobile phone application
After successful registration system gives an unique ID for the farmer and their livestock
The LLW/ FO makes casual visit every month to all registered farmers to collect & sent follow up data focusing on cattle husbandry issues
In cases of cattle sickness, he/she goes to the household immediately & captures relevant cattle health information on the mobile application and sent it to project’s expert veterinarians

8. How the system works- Cont..
The expert veterinarian having access to LMS desh board & given prescription or suggestions
The LLW/ FO receives the advice in his mobile phone instantly and act accordingly
This results in one veterinarian being able to provide services to many livestock farmers
A poor farmer being able to afford expert services at low cost
Records are digitized and can be accessed in updated from any where
